If you step into the SX model, you will also get leather seats, automatic climate control, and trip computer. The great thing about both trim levels is that you get quite a bit of value!
And in today’s market, value is a huge selling feature. Kia has improved its quality and overall image a great deal over the last few years, but I am not sure if it quite has the ‘badge appeal’ yet. Image is important to me as a woman, and I am on the fence as to whether or not I would be willing to pay several thousands more to get a fully-loaded Honda just for the name?
My advice is to take one for a test drive – and when you do, don’t think that you are driving a Kia; just drive it for what it is and you might just fall in love with it!
